It's a little out of the way on the west side of town , but once you bite into one of the most perfect, piping hot empanada crusts ever made, you'll be happy you made the trip. [Eater 38 Member]

Very friendly service , great variety of sweet and savory empanadas to choose from! Some are definitely better than others...ask the staff for their favorites!

Manuel Villasmil

This place is well known by their Empanadas which are AMAZING but you also have to try their Choripan. They offer authentic food, cheap prices and friendly staff .

Regina Panelo

Amazing empanadas ! Definitely recommend the dulce de leche dessert empanada . I think the westheimer location has a coupon for a free dessert empanada if you go to their website or Facebook. Must try!

Paulo Beccaro

Everything is great, from service to flavor, this family owned place had the best tasting empanadas I've ever had, my favorite are the Spinach and the Texas BBQ . a dessert I'd recommend Chio.

The comfort food to end all comfort foods ! If you're craving flaky empenadas filled with sweet or savory concoctions , Marini's is your Shangri-La. Their green sauce is DIVINE, as is the Viva Zapata.

Tucked into a Westchase strip mall on Westheimer near the beltway, Marini's is a family-run empanada delicatessen offering sweet and savory varieties of the fried pies . Read more

Authentic Argentinian empanadas . This place has been in business for 40 years. Get the beef gaucho, four cheese , or queen empanadas . Catch Marcello every Monday on KTMD Telemundo 47.
